Minimize motion
sickness

By aligning sight and body motion, Teleport establishes equilibrium in the body and minimizes discomfort common to FPV experiences.

Revolutionary Technology

The Teleport app showcases MONKEYmedia’s BodyNav technology, producing a revolutionary drone piloting experience. Without custom hardware, BodyNav uses a novel combination of mobile phone sensors for an intuitive, first-person view (FPV) navigation experience free of the motion sickness artifacts caused by using hand controls. Pilots simply lean forward (using either their head or torso) to move forward in space; lean back to reverse; tip left or right to fly sideways; and rotate in place to view their surroundings from the sky. By moving through remote space using subtle, natural body movement, flyers have a more thrilling, visceral experience of teleportation.

“It’s one of those things that makes perfect sense AFTER someone finally points it out.”

Shaun SheppardCreative Innovator at Motion Reality, Inc.

“Fundamentally, you’ve solved a really important problem. It doesn’t require a joystick and you don’t get motion sickness. It has a very natural feel and seems to solve vestibular dysfunction. An outstanding solution. Really great.

“Making the physical experience align with human expectations, as I experienced with MONKEYmedia’s BodyNav technology, is critical not only for an effective VR experience, but also for avoiding digitally induced motion sickness.”

Rob BamforthPrincipal Analyst at Quocirca Ltd

“It’s a bit like when you’re in zero gravity. By just slightly ever moving your head, you feel super powerful. It’s truly amazing. Makes you a super hero.
I really love it!”

Laetitia Garriott de CayeuxManaging Partner at Global Space Ventures

“Best VR idea. Great VR immersion. Should be studied by potential VRMMORPG developers. Head tracking, 3D sound and safely moving around all solved cheaply and in a satisfactory way.”

Tackling Motion Sickness

Motion sickness is a long-standing complaint among drone pilots who wear head-mounted displays while using handheld controls to steer their drones. While sitting in front of a fan, wearing a sea sickness bracelet, skipping meals, and eating ginger may provide a brief reprieve for those wishing to stave off motion sickness, these “hacks” are neither a universal nor a long-term fix. BodyNav relies on the body’s innate center of gravity and equilibrium to drive movement, rather than an auxiliary mechanical controller. This body-based navigation technique outsmarts and eliminates the sensory imbalances that can cause dizziness, nausea and other symptoms of motion sickness. As a result, pilots stay comfortable, engaged and in control.
